Consequences of phenological shifts are determined by the number of generations per season
Abstract The order and timing of species' arrival in a community can often change species interactions. Termed priority effects, this phenomenon arises in communities with drastically different life histories (e.g., bacteria, insects, and amphibians), yet how their life history traits affect the consequences of priority effects in seasonal systems ...

Identification of candidate agents active against N. ceranae infection in honey bees: establishment of a medium throughput screening assay based on N. ceranae infected cultured cells. [PDF]
Many flowering plants in both natural ecosytems and agriculture are dependent on insect pollination for fruit set and seed production. Managed honey bees (Apis mellifera) and wild bees are key pollinators providing this indispensable eco- and agrosystem ...

Conventional and microwave‐assisted extractions of grapefruit peels were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) based on TPC, TFC, and antioxidant activity (DPPH). The phytochemical profiles of the two optimum extracts were characterized via HPLC before evaluating their acute and chronic toxicity, as well as their effects on honey bee (Apis

Proteasome Inhibition Is an Effective Treatment Strategy for Microsporidia Infection in Honey Bees
The microsporidia Nosema ceranae is an obligate intracellular parasite that causes honey bee mortality and contributes to colony collapse. Fumagillin is presently the only pharmacological control for N. ceranae infections in honey bees.

Prodrug Strategies in Atherosclerosis: Targeted Delivery and Therapeutic Advances
Atherosclerosis is an advancing and complex vascular condition primarily associated with sustained inflammatory responses, oxidative imbalance, and disruptions in lipid homeostasis. These pathological features render it a major contributor to the global burden of cardiovascular disease, encompassing both morbidity and mortality.

Inhibition of neutrophil function following exposure to the Aspergillus fumigatus toxin fumagillin [PDF]
The filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus produces a variety of enzymes and toxins that may facilitate fungal colonization of tissue and evasion of the host immune response. One such toxin, fumagillin, was investigated for its ability to inhibit the

A MetAP2 inhibitor blocks adipogenesis, yet improves glucose uptake in cells
Adipose tissue expansion involves angiogenesis to remodel its capillary network. The enzymemethionine aminopeptidase 2(MetAP2) promotes angiogenesis.MetAP2 inhibitors suppress angiogenesis and have potential anti-obesity effect.

Immune priming of honey bees protects against a major microsporidian pathogen
We immune‐primed honey bees at two developmental stages in the laboratory and the field with heat‐killed Nosema ceranae spores. When subsequently fed live spores, immune‐primed adults had lower infection levels. Abstract BACKGROUND Honey bees face significant threats from pathogens like Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian parasite that contributes to ...
